Martin Scorsese would rather burn a film than let a studio ruin it, says long-time collaborator Thelma Schoonmaker

Raging Bull and Thelma Schoonmaker.

Film editor Thelma Schoonmaker has been a long-time collaborator of Martin Scorsese's, working with him on his most recent film, Killers of the Flower Moon, and countless more from the director's legendary filmography. 

One of those films is Raging Bull. It failed at the box office, and while it received eight Oscar nominations (winning two) and various awards from critics' bodies, Schoonmaker insists that it wasn't truly appreciated for another 10 years, when it became a contender in Best Movie of All Time polls. It's a pattern she’s since seen repeated again and again, with appreciation being in particularly short supply from the film studios.
